I love spaceweather.com. The pictures on there are beautiful! If what I saw were NLCs, then anyone further north than the 44th parallel should be able to see them right overhead!

I'm not sure how that works since they're visible because of reflected sunlight rather than from energized particles like the aurora. If you want any help with enhancing them to find out, feel free to email me a couple and I'll fiddle with them for you.

Right, it's because they spread out from the poles, so that's why everyone is surprised that they are seeing them as far south as they are this year.

Oh, thank you! That would be great! I will see if I can get them over to you.

Beautiful cloud shots, thanks for sending them. Alas, not NLCs but there's always next time! I got up early this morning, saw that there were a few high level clouds about, and went back to bed. Wish we had more of a view of the western sky here. It tends to be clearer at that time of day. The only way to see the west is to go up into the mountains. Unfortunately the "roads" back there are more truck trails/two-tracks and difficult enough to drive during the day. One of our neighbors bashed his truck into a tree going back up there to deer hunt in the wee hours of the morning last fall. No thanks!

I knew you two had your heads in the clouds.


Just teasing I couldn't resist given what you two were talking about.

You are very welcome! No, I don't think they were. Just cool looking ones. I will have to send last year's picture to show you. Our spot for sky viewing is very close, but I always feel guilty afterward. It's in a cemetery! LOL! I think once it clears up, we might be able to see them better.

Hey, no competition for a good spot there, eh? lol

LOL! That's for certain! They don't complain at all, either! It's the perfect spot for looking for auroras, too.

Good morning, all. Got a bit more rain yesterday evening. The plants are happy -- and so are the mosquitoes. Went out shrooming this morning. Only found a few oysters, up too high to reach. Found lots and lots of skeeters too... or they found me.

Got any weekend plans?

Dawn:

Those colors are just so beautiful they almost make it worthwhile to get up an hour before dawn!

I found out when I ordered something yesterday that I can still use the Amazon Smile w/o installing the app! I chose Chocolay Raptor Center.
